Chapter 5083 5086 [Ring Spirit]

After successfully retaking Osgiliath, Xiang Nan waved his hand and conjured up a large amount of food and beer.

"Everyone, eat and drink enough, and take time to rest. I estimate that the orcs will come to steal the city at night." Xiang Nan said to everyone.

Boromir nodded in agreement.

If the Orc army wants to attack Minas Tirith, they must first capture Osgiliath.

Because Osgiliath controls the natural barrier of the Anduin River.

The Anduin is the longest river in Middle-earth. It originates from the Grey Mountains and the Misty Mountains and flows southward to the sea. Its width is slightly less than that of the Yellow River, at about three hundred meters.

From ancient times to the present, humans have only built two bridges across the Anduin River.

One is located at the Old Crossing, near the kingdom of Beorn the Skinchanger. It was built by Isildur at the end of the Second Age to fight against Sauron, but it has now been destroyed.

The other is located in the city of Osgiliath.

If the Orc army wanted to invade Minas Tirith, they would first have to cross the Anduin River.

People can easily cross the river by boat, but engineering equipment, such as trebuchets, ladders, battering rams and other large equipment, cannot be carried by small boats, so they must be carried over bridges.

Therefore, if Osgiliath is defended, Minas Tirith will also be defended.

After all, no matter how many orcs there are, without siege equipment, they will not pose any threat to Minas Tirith.

Therefore, the orcs will definitely try their best to take back Osgiliath and will never let it return to Gondor's hands.

……

The warriors of Gondor then feasted on the food, and even Xiang Nan drank several glasses of beer with Boromir.

As time went by, the sky gradually darkened.

At this moment, someone shouted, "Look, what is that?"

Xiang Nan, Boromir and others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little fire in the city of Minas Tirith.

"That is the beacon from Minas Tirith asking for help from Rohan~" Boromir recognized it immediately.

Once upon a time, the regent of Gondor and the king of Rohan swore an oath to form an alliance to help each other and fight against the enemy together. Therefore, in order to facilitate the transmission of warnings, Gondor specially built beacon points on the White Mountains.

Once the beacon was lit in Minas Tirith, other beacons would be lit one after another, summoning reinforcements from Rohan.

"Look, the beacon of Amon Din is also lit." Faramir immediately pointed to the distance.

Boromir nodded, and then shouted loudly, "Don't worry, Rohan will definitely send reinforcements. We, Gondor, will no longer be fighting alone! When the time comes, no matter how many orcs there are, they will not be our match!"

"Yeah!" Hearing him say that, all the soldiers cheered.

Over the years, Gondor has been fighting independently and standing at the forefront of resisting the attacks of Mordor. To be honest, the country is a little tired and the people are exhausted, and it can no longer hold on.

Therefore, when the soldiers heard that reinforcements from Rohan were arriving, they were naturally very happy, and they all felt relieved.

Because Rohan is known as the country of cavalry, its cavalry is still very intimidating on the battlefield.

……

Then everyone was ready to fight and welcome the invasion of the orcs.

Late at night, he heard the sound of footsteps in the distance. Xiang Nan looked around and saw thousands of orcs approaching the walls of Osgiliath.

"Enemy attack!" Xiang Nan shouted immediately, calling everyone to action.

"Climb the city wall immediately!" Boromir shouted loudly, and then all the soldiers climbed up the city wall and were ready for battle.

Sure enough, a moment later, the orc army gathered and brought with them a large number of siege equipment, such as catapults, ladders, battering rams, etc., which were mighty and aggressive.

"Ready!" Boromir shouted.

All the soldiers raised their longbows, drew their bows and shot arrows, ready to strike a head-on blow to the orcs who were attacking at night.

But at this moment, a shrill scream was suddenly heard in the air, like an iron spoon scraping the bottom of a pot.

The Gondor warriors, Faramir, Boromir and even Tauriel who heard the voice all showed expressions of horror, and some even collapsed to the ground.

"It's the Ringwraiths, the Ringwraiths are coming!" Faramir screamed.

The Ringwraiths are humans corrupted by Sauron. They were originally kings of a country, powerful wizards, and highly respected wise men. They received the Ring of Power from Sauron.

But then they were bewitched, bribed, and corrupted by Sauron, and gradually became immortal dark creatures - the Ringwraiths. The most powerful among them was the Witch-king of Angmar who once ruled the north. Decades ago, they also entrenched in Dol Guldur in the Mirkwood.

……

When Xiang Nan heard this, he was not in a hurry. He immediately waved his hand. In an instant, thousands of holy white lights sprinkled in the sky, instantly reflecting three black shadows flying in the sky.

The flying monsters looked like evil dragons, but their bodies were bald and they did not have the indestructible scales of evil dragons. Their heads also did not look like those of evil dragons, but looked like snake heads.

Xiang Nan knew that this was a mount specially cultivated by Sauron for the Ringwraiths, and its name was "Fallen Monster". It was not only good at flying, but also its screams could terrify the listeners and make them lose their fighting spirit.

Because when the Ringwraiths went to chase Frodo, the horses they rode were injured by Arwen's magic, causing the mission to fail. That's why Sauron took the trouble to breed flying monsters for them.

This way, the speed is faster, the action is quicker, and it is not easy to be destroyed.

And on the back of each fallen monster sat a black shadow wearing a cloak. They were the Ringwraiths.

Because they were corrupted by the Ring of Power, they became immortal and could only exist in the netherworld. They wore cloaks to communicate with the outside world, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to see them.

Under the illumination of the holy white light, both the fallen monsters and the Ringwraiths exuded bursts of black air, like a red-hot iron encountering the white snow.

This frightened them so much that they immediately ran away in panic.

As soon as they left, the warriors of Gondor recovered immediately, and the holy white light shining on them eliminated the fear in their hearts, replaced by confidence and fighting spirit.

On the contrary, the white light shining on the orc army made them panic, terrified, and their morale plummeted.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Nan waved his hand again.

A huge tornado appeared out of nowhere and swept into the orc army.

In an instant, countless orcs were swept into the sky, and even the siege machines were destroyed by the hurricane, becoming as fragile as paper.

After the hurricane passed, there were not many orcs left at the scene, and their siege machines were almost all destroyed.

Because of this, they didn't dare to start a war again and they were all scared and fled.
